BCA Funds End Soon – Access Remains

Posted on August 11, 2021 by Jenna Kellerman

Funding for the Basic Care Aide and Paid Feeding Assistant Training programs, expedited trainings for caregivers available under the 1135 Waiver, will soon be ending. Access to the trainings will remain available to members through EduCare until the waiver expires. Non-EduCare users may access programs for a fee by contacting Jennifer Anderson or calling 952-288-3800.

Thanks to the generous support of the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation and EduCare, the Basic Care Aide and expedited Paid Feeding Assistant trainings were available at no cost to LeadingAge Minnesota members for more than a year throughout the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, we have trained nearly 700 staff in Minnesota.

An estimated 50 seats are remaining covered by grant funds, and we will continue to monitor registrations as those funds wind down. If you would like to continue using Basic Care Aide or Paid Feeding assistant after the grant funds expire, please contact EduCare for registration information.
